A few days ago, Stromae was making a comeback in the French media landscape.
Passing through JT of TF1 to, among other things, sing his new title “L’enfer”, the Belgian artist will have conquered the hearts of fans with the sincerity of his text and his interpretation.
Dealing with various difficult subjects such as suicide and loneliness, this piece will have touched the people concerned by this kind of problem.

Only a few days later, Mohamed Bouhafsi, a journalist with France Télévision, reported that since this performance, “appointments with psychiatrists have exploded like calls for 3114 the national suicide prevention number.»
